Somewhere already glimpsed a woman’s opinion about that Sergio Rossi somehow miraculously is able to create not only the most elegant sandals in the world, but at the same time, and sexiest.

Sergio Rossi began his career in the 1950s under the guidance of his father, the hereditary shoemaker from the Italian region Romagna. Armed with tools and traditions, which gave his father (and free training), he went to Milan to hone their knowledge of the craft. He persistently studied here for 2 years, studying the forms and approaches to business in the heart of the Italian centre for footwear manufacture.

Early 60’s in Italy was a time of artistic and cultural revival and led to the emergence of modern Italian ready to wear, Italian handwriting in Vogue. It was a time when I first crossed the path of Sergio Rossi and Giovanni Versace. It was the perfect creative and commercial Union: Versace had a deep knowledge of the correspondences of the fabric and the female figure. Sergio Rossi did the same, finding such matching between the female body and shoes. This meeting provided the impetus to further cooperation. In the summer of 1966, Sergio Rossi began selling its first models in the shops of Bologna. Were the most successful model under the name «Opanca» – the design was simple and daring: the sole was delicately around the foot and imperceptibly connected with the top.

Numerous demonstrations and presentations developments have given a more accurate idea of «what women want», or rather, what he wants the female figure. This synthetic female icon and feel completely controls the space around them, understanding it as a space of seduction: it emits as much energy as is conceivable and possible.

His philosophy was simple: to create beautiful shape of the Shoe, while others dream of creating nice legs. Here lies the secret. He is to think not about the shoes how about a beautiful frame or ornament, as a continuation of the body. Great setting, comfortable, hygienic, adapted for movement of the modern woman.

Images of the 1990s were findings of Helmut Newton, with whom Sergio Rossi shared his innermost very avant-garde vision of a woman: the image of efficiency, control over the body and its energy, which in turn, affects the status. As an artist, the brand also came to use sharp angles to emphasize the verticality of the body, is present in the heel – at least three inches tall — which gives the leg its core energy, and the body – to become new.
